SonicWall
SonicWall Secure Mobile Access (SMA) is well suited as a solution for VPN on your phone. It allows our agency's employees to access our data and system from almost any device at any time. SonicWall Secure Mobile Access (SMA) is less appropriate if you need to implement the product in a very short time frame, as it took longer than expected for rollout to staff.

SonicWall
  • SMA is limited to only SSL VPN , it should have support for hybrid VPN (SSL + IPSEC)
  • There are different specs and features for Enterprise and SMB. Features should be same for all devices.
  • It does not have URL filtering, content filtering, AV/IPS and Threat Prevention features. For achieving the same, we need to deploy another product like firewall or proxy.
